WARNING :
Do not clamp on to any conductor when turning on the power of
power clamp. Because the power clamp will aulo zero the
residual magnet remained in the jaws at the moment the power
clamp is tumed on. If users clamp on to conductor with current
flowing through, the reading measured later will be inaccurate.

LCD will show 0 Hz. If the frequency is > 400 Hz, LCD will show
OL.
3 3.2. V + A Dual Display
Follow the instruction in section 3.6.3 3g AC+DC Balanced
Power Measurement V + A. Then users can monitor V and A
at the same time from LCD.
3.4. AC+DC 1.2W Apparent/Readive Power Measurement
(KVA+KVAR)
Before any measurement, zero the current (A) reading. Then set
the rotary switch at KVA. The rest of the procedvres are the same
as section 3.1 (AC+DC 1.2W Power(W) and Power Factor (PF)
measurement). Refer to figure 2 for test leads connection and
clamping of jaw.
KVAR is a calculated value and its accuracy greatly depends on
the accuracy of V, A and KW. To obtain a more accurate KVAR
value when PF is greater then 0.91(.<25
0
) user can measure the
phase angle and obtain the KVAR by themselves from the following
equation for pure sine wave. KVAR = KVA * sin .

Ihe reference line.
3.5.5. Connect the test prod of the V (red) terminal to the
voltage signal to be detected.
3.5.6. Clamp on to the wire where V (red) terminal is
connected.
3.5.7. If current signal is detected from the jaws, the phase
angle will be displayed in degree in LCO together with
the frequency of voltage.
3.5.8. If the current signal is not detected from the jaws, only
the frequency of voltage will be displayed while the
phase angle is left blank.
WARNING :
Before taking measurement, users must zero the current (A)
reading to avoid incorrect reading of phase angle. To check if
current is zero, turn the rotary switch to current (A) function.
NOTE :
INDUCTIVE LOAD : Negative phase angie means currenl signal
lags behind voltage signal. If connection is correct, negative phase
angle also means inductive load.
CAPACITIVE LOAD: Positive phase angle means current signal
leads ahead voltage signal. If connection is correct, positive phase
angle also means capacitive load.
NOTE:
The + sign printed on jaw must face the power source for correct
result.

NOTE :
The indication of phase sequence is not limited to 3. balanced
power. It can be used in general as long as the PF displayed is
greater than 0.1.
Set the power clamp In 3. balanced power mode, the power clamp
will automatically detect phase.
3.14.1. Set the rotary at 3..
3.14.2. Connect the voltage input (red terminal) to R (or L1)
phase, connect the COM input (black terminal) to S
(or L2) phase, and clamp on the T (or L3) phase. When
clamp on the T (or L3) phase, the power clamp must
face the power source.
3.14.3. If the phase sequence is clockwise, R, S, T sequence
will be shown and flashed. (refer to figure 17 )
3.14.4. If the phase sequence is counterdockwise, T, S,
R sequence will be shown and flashed. (refer to
figure 17)
3.14.5. If the current signal (where jaws damp on) is not
detected, only one of the R, S or T will be left in LCD.
NOTE :
The + sign printed on jaw must face the power source for correct
measurement.
3.15. Recording Data in Memory
The power clamp can store 4 data in its own memory. To store
any data displayed in LCD, press the REC button. If the power
clamp has stored 4 data already, LCD will display FULL. The
data is lost if power is turned off.
The REC symbol will be displayed in LCD if any data is stored.
NOTE:
If users observe REC (only) is shown in LCD, that means some
data is stored in memory.
3.16. Reading Data in Memory
To retrieve data in memory, press the READ button as long as
rotary switch is not set at 3.function.
Once the read button is pressed, the record number will be
first displayed. then data is displayed after. Once in the READ
function, the REC. NO. symbols will be displayed in LCD.
To exit the READ function, turn the rotary switch to change
function.
NOTE:
If users observe both REC and NO. symbols are shown in LCD,
users should know that the readings shown in LCD are not cur-
rent data measured. They are data stored in the memory.
